The boost is expected to support global connectivity between Australia and Europe, with Singapore acting as one of the primary stopover destinations for Australians making their way across the globe.

This capacity increase will also support Southeast Asian economic development, trade, and tourism.
Singapore remains a major travel destination for South Australians, being the seventh largest location in terms of visitor expenditure.
Currently, Singapore Airlines operates 10 flights a week between Adelaide Airport and Singapore’s Changi Airport, with an additional two flights a week starting in October.
Adelaide Airport managing director Brenton Cox emphasised the value of increased services and noted that it is the first time an international airline is flying a dozen times a week directly out of Adelaide.
“Singapore Airlines has been an incredible supporter of the Adelaide market for more than four decades and was a ground breaker in providing South Australians with one-stop connections to Europe and the UK,” he said.
“Now they offer more options than ever before to fly to Singapore and connect with their significant global network.
“It’s also significant for our local exporters who rely on Singapore Airlines’ regular services to reach key markets.”
Singapore Airlines Regional Vice President (South West Pacific), Foo Chai Woo, said that the over 40-year history between South Australia and Singapore Airlines is representative of the strong connection and the need for increased options for travellers in and out of the two regions.
“Building on our legacy of strongly supporting the South Australian Market, and with robust travel demand into and out of Adelaide, we’re happy to offer our customers even more choice and more capacity with 12 weekly services from Ocotber 2026,” he said.
By allowing over 1,300 more people every week to fly directly into Adelaide, the state’s tourism minister, Emily Bourke, said this demonstrates the growing demand and appeal to visit South Australia.
“More seats mean more opportunities to attract international visitors, support local tourism and showcase everything South Australia has to offer to travellers from across Asia and the world.”
